I’ve been fairly critical of recent performances. Today sounded like a step in the right direction - hopefully we can kick on and go on a little run now.

We'll see what happens next week and a game at a time but hopefully this is the start of an actual turnaround and not just a flash in the pan performance.
Choked the life out of them at times and kept them penned in in the first half and looked like scoring every attack, shout out to Bentancur, was back to his best today imo, cut out so many attacks and kept the ball moving as did Romero.
Like I said, 1 game but that was more like what some of the more evangelical among us were proselytising about, there were still a few too many mishaps that would have been punished on another day, especially the keeper but you'd take that if we can extend that first 30 odd minutes and really put games to bed.

And you have every right to be wrong.
We still can improve further, but that was great. We pillaged them at every opportunity, ruthless, fast and positive play.
It's good that we were made to work a bit in the second half. Good for the players, not us
If we continue playing like this we may have more goals sooner as they find ways to take more chances. As you say definitely we could have scored more. Johnson had that excellent chance but he just 2nd guessed himself, I think because Solanke was there... If no Solanke I think Johnson scores. He got caught in 2 minds, it happens. But next time he'll do better. Kulu could have passed it square to Solanke.
i had 9-1
Close.
Good good.Much swifter ball progression was my one big take away from today.
We pressed like demons as a team too.
Some good shot stopping from Vic interlaced with some ‘Carry on Football’ moments!Got away with one handling the ball outside the area too!
Now to smash UTD.
And I survived my cross country race, so a good day all in all.
The early goal could’ve killed us but the team showed character coming back and so swiftly.
Much more bite in the press, in midfield and in defence.
Set up, same. More intensity was obvious.
Vicario - good shot stopping. A couple of nervous/suicidal moments. Went long later in the game.
Son - 2 assists (I think) but poor with the ball at his feet.
The right 3 players scored today - big relief (palpable in the ground). Should’ve been out of sight before Brentford had a good 10/15 mins on the hour. 3rd goal killed them and the game.
Oh and Mikey Moore came on
A lot of people have said it but why didn't we or another top 6 side have a go for Mbeumo ?
Blokes quality
And yet he isn’t.
Now celebrate the win or log off.

If we could go and do a professional job on United really assault them. We could fully turn round the narrative and buy the Ange project a bit of breathing space. Fingers firmly crossed.
I mentioned Kulusevski by name because he’d just done it twice.
Is that a truncheon in your pocket?
Feel much better after that , very good performance , much needed by all .
Madisson and Kulusevski excellent and pleased for Solanke

Fantastic! -Clearly the result of trying riskier passes - being quicker going forward - Long balls and through balls to our front three with Son playing more centrally.
Ange clearly changed it up a bit today - Even saw Porro and Destiny overlaping Johnson and Son a few times. Been waiting and hoping for Ange to make these adjustments - Huzzah! Great win!
But I like you !
